STUDENT ACTUARY EXAM RESULTS REACTION | SP8 and SA3 IFoA (potential qualification) 

Thank you for sharing this with us Paige. Passing actuarial exams is hard so it is okay if you fail you will eventually get there. And if you look on the bright side you will be resitting very soon and you probably qualify in less than 6 months.

Paige it has been an honour to watch you process this information, realize that fails are an opportunity for learning, growing and better than not trying…. You have what it takes to succeed… you know your areas of weakness and you have immaculate study techniques. All good things will come…. Enjoy your summer ❤

you know, Paige, you remind me a lot of myself when it comes to exams and life in general. You hardly give yourself any credit when you have done well but are very hard on yourself when things don't go to plan.... Take it from a fellow perfectionist that you have done exceptionally well in your journey. I can see that you've blossomed in so many aspects and I feel very proud of you! We all know that you will be passing the next sitting and I'm looking forward to the remaining part of this chapter!!

Paige, I congratulate you for passing one of the exams. Do not worry that you failed one exam! It is not the end of the world. You are going to resit it again in September and I am sure that you will pass the second time because you are more aware what they want in this exam.

You know, it's okay, Paige! Even better results are ahead!!! I believed in you, I believe in you and I will continue to believe in you! Congratulations, Paige! 💗🌸💗 You did well! 🙌🏼💗 Everything will be fine! You're a very hard worker and you deserve all the best! 🙏🏼💗 Take good care of yourself! Much love! 💗

Congratulations on passing SA3, Paige! That’s brilliant news! Only one to go now. The pass rate was incredibly low - these exams must be so tough! You will pass the last one very soon!

Paige it's brilliant. One more left! You will get there this year!

So so proud of you Paige!

I know you would have preferred to pass, but thank you SO much for modeling how failure can be not devastating. I have always refrained from trying music exams, but this video really helps.

Only one left to study for! You'll get it next time! I'm tantalizingly close to the end of my BA (only 3 exams left!), so I know the feeling of being so close and yet so far. (And secretly I'm glad we'll be getting a few more study videos, because yours have always been my favourites!)

It’s even more than fine🤗you did great! Congratulations on passing SA3! Just one more and you’re done!💪

You’re gonna get it!!! And if not, by any chance…totally far far away,😂)please, don’t be discouraged! You can do it🤗

Congrats for the pass! These exams are so tough so don't beat yourself up! Seeing your content on here and insta really helps me a lot with the studying and preparation for these exams as they serve as a great motivator! thanks a million ☺

Congrats! All the effort you've put in is and will pay off! ❤

You still did a good job, Paige

Good luck Paige!!

Paige is such an encouragement

That's a solid pass though at 68% ... and 58% was close so just needs a little more work and you're there ;) Chin up an onto the next phase.

Congrats on passing one exam! Fingers crossed for the resit in September, keep going, love your videos 😊 x

Congrats, Paige! Just one to go (from so many that you have already ticked off!), you rock as always xx

Chin up love you have got this as someone who is trying to qualify as a cost accountant and not clearing in the first go ik how it feels but have a calm head you have got this ❤🧿

Paige, congratulations for passing even the one exam! From what I can tell these exams are pretty hard and the pass rate for some of them is very, very low. Considering how many exams you've passed in the first sitting, I still think you did amazing 😊

Hi Paige. First of all, well done! One down, one to go! I'm in an adjacent boat to yours. I've got one final resit to take for my degree at the end of this summer after having passed one and failed one of my winter exams (and finish the research project until the end of the year). I can't wait to be done with studying. Let's go we've got this! One final exam 💪💪💪

Another one down, well done!

Congrats for passing SA3 Paige! I'll be studying towards professional accountancy exams in September so looking forward to the study content! 💛

Only a matter of time, you got this!!!!

I love that you keep it real, Paige! Congrats on your SA3 result, and remember, none of this is wasted time - every attempt/exam/study session is helping you get that little bit further. I think about it like driving lessons/tests. Failing the driving test doesn't mean that you're back to square one! Keep going

Almost there: ) I had the exact same feeling when I checked my results. Good luck next time!

You continue to be on a successful path. You have every right to be pleased with the cpmpleted course. All the best to you. You are successful

Good luck! You can definitely pass next time!

Can’t believe it’s nearly the end of an era with the exams. Fingers crossed ❤❤❤ Used the IFOA site to book mark the date in my calendar

Well done! one more down, one to go. You got this

Hope you got it! I passed my last exam SA7 and now exam qualified!

Just one exam left to pass! All other exams in life you have conquered! You’ll get there!

Congrats on passing SA3 and I’m looking forward to you popping a bottle of champers in December. What a great Christmas present that will be. Maybe a celebratory laundry segment as well?????

It might be a refreshing change to try vlogging about how to take breaks. It's actually something people can learn from. For recovering from burnout in particular. It's pretty common. I hear strangers talk about it and I've tried to study it too. Some ideas resonate like there are 7 types of rest: mental rest, sensory rest, emotional rest, social rest, physical rest, creative rest, and plain old slowing down. You need all 7. I've recently picked up planting and making terrariums as a hobby (I built 5 on my first day). And bird watching - I just had to place some feeders in the garden. It works great, but I had to scatter seeds where birds would obviously find them first, to get the comfortable and curious. Just a thought, hope you're finding a good balance.

It's ok, Paige... U still did really well. Just one more paper to go. ❤

Congratulations 🎉

Let’s not forget that you passed one! 🥳😎 you’ve got this! Also these exams must be so tough with the low pass rate haha

Completely off topic, but you look sooo good in this video! Really glowing and summery and fresh 😊 I hope that doesn't sound weird, it's just the first thing that popped into my mind.

As soon as you shared the video, I clicked the notification

Hats off Paige. Don't forget to do life sessions when you study for the next exam.only 4 marks to pass the other exam. I know that you will pass the exam next time with flying colours.

Hey Paige, I feel the pain had attempted papers this April didn't get through and mostly due to the script review part otherwise would have gone through so yes. I feel the pain

Unrelated but I loveee your hair in this video and you are glowinggg

Congrats on SA3, I’m sure you’ll get SP8 next time. I’ll be hearing about my (hopefully) last FSA exam next week and am starting to feel the score release anxiety.

You worked so hard for this, so don’t let that letter devalue that. You came out and reflected on it, so I’m sure you will breeze through the next one.

Congrats on SA3!!!! Let me pass on some words an old FIA told me years ago: "It will all be worth it in the end".

Well done! Don't forget you had all that extra stress with the computer beforehand which would have thrown some people (me 🤣) completely off track and 58 sounds like you were very close to the second pass anyway so, I'm sure you'll nail that last exam next time. 😊

GO GO GO. YOu know you CAN! XXXX

You did well Paige. You will pass next time!

I’m crossing my fingers 😊

Totally understand your disappointment not to pass both . But to turn this round you have only one exam left to pass to be finished , and we ALL know you will do it . Come on Paige 😊 your goal in in sight 😊

It's really rare that a student passed the SA exam but fail the SP one, but passing SA means that you are with a very good chance of passing the SP one next time. Best of luck! I'm in the journey for the fellowship for more than 10 years and still not quite there yet. Just wanna let you know that you're doing incredibly well for achieving so much in such a short period of time. You're my inspiration. Hang in there, I'm sure your qualified video will come soon!

Somehow, as someone who is planning to start this whole journey of actually exams after I graduate, seeing people fail and keep going really is weirdly reassuring. Getting that "Failing is the end of the world" attitude out of my mind is so hard but so necessary.

you know I truly hope u get two P in heart I also feel nervous

you have no one to prove your capability and smartness! even to yourself because paper exams are not the best way to show your knowledge and it doesn't describe you. happy to see you being able to accept feeling sad about it ,it will be a just a memory in the future!

Congratulations Paige on passing SP3! 🎉 Seriously! It's only one left! In a few months you will be missing studying for exams 😆 Btw. You look so beautiful with a touch of a tan 😍 Have a restful and full of joy weekend Smart Girl!❤ Hugs from Poland 🤗

The waiting is killing me 🎉

How long have you been studying actuarial science? Like how long does it actually take for someone to become an actuary?

Hey, i used to watch Astrid Franciska's vlogs, I hope she is okay. i don't see her on any platform nowadays, even her older videos are not available on youtube💔!

Sorry Paige what are you studying? And at which Uni? Good luck in your exam.

that's right we only learn from fails....

I was so nervous for you, and let out an audible ‘no’ when you failed SP8. Well done on the pass though and good luck for the last one! (Can’t say that I’m dissapointed that we’ll still be getting some more study content though)

If you only have one exam left, at least you can fully apply yourself to the one you failed. You’ll be more than capable next sitting!

Don't hang your head! You'll manage one more thing!

Congratulations on passing the one exam! One step closer to no exams. Woohoo! The cliche that a failure is a stepping stone to the next success comes to mind even though it's annoying.

I'm calling out the friends who didn't organize the dinner

It has never made sense to me that the pass mark changes each sitting. It would be better if there was just a standard figure.

I have to re-take my CFA Level 1 exam next February. I feel your let down after watching your journey for your charter learnings/trainings, but it’s a journey and some things happen for a reason. You Got This Paige!! 🎉

I just got CP1 back, and failed by a mark. Won’t forget this

if you passed, you would always know you didn't do a great job and just got lucky. These types of tests require expert knowledge and application. it is impossible to pass otherwise.

I see actuary salaries are not really higher than other 'professional' jobs. I wonder if all that effort is worth it, when you can be earning more than actuaries with much less effort.

Can you choose a different subject if you wanted to?

3.44 Mins. You can thank me later. Go Page !!

I can’t wait to see who this girl actually dates

Paige, you'll be fine. Please don't let this tear you down.🥹❤️❤️❤️ Also, you're absolutely stunning with the new look and make-up.😮💕

I liked Paige a lot better when she was just a Cambridge undergrad and just being herself. Now, she seems to be just acting for the camera. (Mind you, I think the longer, softer hair is a better look.)

Congratulations 🎊 on SA3 and the next time you’re going to nail SP8 that’s for sure. It’s just one more exam, we are almost there. Almost there 🤌🏾. I’ve been following you since 2020 and you’re an inspiration for me as a student actuary. I really appreciate you🫂💐. FIA here we come 💐🫶🏽
